When the local police reportedly refused to take a complaint about belongings worth Rs 50,000 which were stolen from a bag on a Thai Airways flight seven months ago, a Bengaluru-based techie was forced to seek legal recourse. He approached the court directly with a criminal complaint against the airlines, and the magistrate then directed the Cubbon Park police to register a plaint against the local Thai Airways officials who allegedly tried to brush off responsibility for the loss.
Tariq Shariff, a techie employed by Honeywell Technology Solutions, booked a round trip from Bengaluru to Tokyo on Thai Airways. On his return flight from Tokyo on February 22, Shariff - who claims to have bought a brand new wristwatch and a 32GB iPod - disembarked to find the items stolen from their packaging and his baggage evidently tampered with. Numerous emails exchanged between the techie and local Thai Airways officials including the company's general manager, Kanaporn Apinonkul, and its customer relations service officials Anitha S yielded no result, as the latter reportedly offered a sum of $100 (Rs 6000) as compensation and claimed no responsibility for the theft.
